Description

Financial statements interpretation is a tool used frequently to analyze a company’s historical performance and predict its prospects. To better understand a company’s financial statements, executives need to probe into its strategic path, business model, and operating patterns, and the accounting policy and procedures for financial statements preparation. This programme aims to help participants without a financial background probe into a company’s financial statements in light of external factors (e.g., economic landscape, industrial patterns, and effectiveness of monitoring and auditing) so as to assess its historical performance and current financial conditions.

This intensive four-day programme is designed to help participants more effectively apply financial information, understand the financial implications of their managerial decisions, and work alongside financial professionals. This programme will present not only financial expertise required for non-financial executives, but also a systematic and practical framework to analyze managerial issues from a financial perspective. Participants will learn how to formulate an optimal financial plan for their company, leverage external financing to jump-start its development, and make an effective strategic decision to boost corporate value.

Objective

The objective of this programme is to equip participants with the financial skills that are prerequisites for success in today’s increasingly competitive environment. The programme will help participants communicate more effectively with people in financial areas , develop financial policies and better understand the effects of financial decisions on their company’s profitability.

Comments From Participants

How to see through financial statements to facilitate business development; how to mobilize limited resources to the greatest extent for maximization of benefits; how to reduce the investment risks and sustain business growth, all these are important issues in the daily work of a manager from a manufacturing company. With a perfect combination of theories with practical cases, and also the participatory methodology, this programme helped sharpen our skills to interpret and analyze financial statements, and exposed us to brand new management and investment conceptions, arousing our in-depth thinking. It shall be a course not to be missed by company runners, senior managers and investors.

Non-Financial Executives will find the course easy to follow and gain useful knowledge to better manage their businesses where finance is concerned. As an EMBA student, it was an excellent opportunity for me to go over the fundamentals of Managerial and Financial Accounting once again. Course also covers the EVA concept.

Participating in this training course has been beneficial to me. The content was just spot-on for me as a manager who never practised finance management before but has to now. CEIBS did a good job in keeping focus on the content and the quality of the training.

The programme provides me with an overall understanding of financial reporting system and also helps me to make sense of all my previous understanding of corporate finance. The cases chosen by the professor are also great.

Jimmy Guo

The practical exercises of making three financial statements help to strengthen understanding and knowledge retention. The professor also links the three statements to real business situations.

The programme helped me to understand and conduct a proper analysis of the financial statements and Annual Report of the corporation, communicate more effectively with financial professionals, and evaluate the viability of business proposals in terms of return on investment.
